A San Francisco Giants fan who suffered life-altering brain damage when he was beaten by two men outside Dodger Stadium has returned home to Santa Cruz after two years in hospitals and rehabilitation centers.

Bryan Stow's family said on its website Wednesday that Stow will now live with them in Santa Cruz after spending about a year at the Centre for Neuroskills in Bakersfield, a live-in rehabilitation facility.

The family says Stow could have used more time at the center, but their insurance will no longer pay for it, so Stow's parents and home nurses will give him the around-the-clock care he needs.

Stow, a paramedic and father of two, was brutally beaten in a parking lot while leaving the 2011 Opening Day game between the Giants and Dodgers in Los Angeles.
